IN DEFENSE OF ENGELS.
7 W0rhlNon,S lNrOcnIf:

To the W0hmcH'S AdrOcdie;
 Permit me to call yourattention to the following extraordinary paragraph in the article entitled "Gioing Bhndfold," on the first page of the WORKMEN'S ADVO- CATE of January 2d (No, 4.);
 Tt has been claimed by many that it is ut more importance that the Wurkintnru should east one million uf votes Ht the first national election in which they participate, even though euvh votes he east at random, and without dru- uite object, than that ono hundred thousand votes should be east for definite objects and principles. This is even the expressed opinion of Frederick Eu@rls, the well known Nuriui Democrat. II will be Wcll however, tu take tx captions tn this opmiou, coming, though lt does from such high aui horly'
 The writer of this paragraph takes i exception" ill the columns of the central organ of the party to an opinion for the | existence of which he offers no proof au action of which a Socialist organ should not be guilty even towards an uvowcd opponent.
 Since the subject has not been touched upon in any work of Mir, EnGeIs thus far ! published we mnSt assume that the writer Of the article derived his inform 1 atuu from a private source and one which he doubtless believed left nothing tu hr desired in the matter of trust worthyness. This may be seen from the way in which he presents the sup posed opinion of Mr. Eugelslnd critically aunihllates it.
 And he has amazingly easy work. For he puts i'll t.ngels mouth a piece of non sense which would he nconceivabie it the critic had any inkling of the nature of EugeIs' activity, to say nothing of an acquaintance with the works of d man who ranks next Karl Marx as an exponent of the theory of Scientific Socialism, And this was certainly to be expected of a critic who takes exception to "the expressed opinion of ESQ high an author iy.'
 It is this attributed nonsense which causes me to take mp my pen and Hot the the very questionable performance Of reporting from hear%ay "eNpressed opin- ions" reputcdly coming from ''so high an authority for the publication of which Mr. Engeis cannot possibly have given his permission. That k a matter for the editor uf the Party organ and tEe writer of the article to settle with their own consc.enros.
 Another thing which mpel~ me to take exception to this article k tine fact that happen to know directly from Mir. EnGels his personal opinion upon the subject ln question. And 1t would be an ea>l task gu prove tue inanity of the >uPpu~odi3 "eNpessed opinion of Mr. EnGels, that it k of more importance that the workingmon should east one million of votes al the first national crc- tion in which they participate, even though such votes be cast af tuaiom uad ,rdiom dtFuic oLj,cty than that one hun drrd thousand votes should he cast fu,. d,fAta oIJo.t> U.d principles, by pub fishing the exact words i'll which Mir. Engels dots express his opinion in a letter. But common dcceucy forbids me to en- ter upon the path If our critic by pub. fishing u private communication from Mir. Engeis without his permission. | FLORENCE kEILEN-W WIsCnNEwErzKN.

sales assumed larger proportions, the
supply OF stocks coming from oil
sources. The widening tendency oil
the speculation, however, enabled the
market TO absorb the offerings, and
alter combining declines within frac-
uonal limits q moderate rally was
brought about. The coal stocks, with
Union Pacific and Fort Worth and
Denver, absorbed most Of the interest,
the graDgsrs and trunk line thai es
being comparatively neglected. The
movement in the coalers. which has
for its basis the expectation Of in
creased tolls for the year to come,
together with the more amiCable
relations between different roads,
was not sufficient to maintain the
high prices of yesterday, under the
pressure OF long stocks for sale.
Union Pacific advanced sharply Ia the
forenoon, for which the presence ef
President Adams was for the most
part responsible, the inference being
that he was here to conclude the lease
OF Oregon Navigation. The improve

upon fales for Boston account. Among
the specialiies which showed psrticu.
lar strength and activity, were the
San Franc SEQ and Atlantic and Pa
citic securities, the buying being chief
ly upon the favorable showing OF
earnings. Evansville and Terre Haute
also advanced sharply. The opening
was somewhat irregular, but generally
firm, at small fractions above last eve
ning's final figures. The market was
extremely active ia the forenoon, but
was heavy throughout, Fort Worth
and Denver being decidedly weak.
Union Pacific was very strong, al
though the advance eliminated bsfore

cline was checked before noon, and

was noticeable thereafter. The tone
